Dope Ass Podcast

Even on a good day, motherhood is really hard. Case in point: for today’s episode of Dope Ass Podcast, both Andrea and her special guest Rachel Sobel of Whine and Cheez(Its) ( https://whineandcheezits.com/ ) recorded in their closets. C’est la vie when you’re both a mom and a brand.

Andrea and Rachel unpack the negative association they both have with the term “mommy blogger” and then launch into a candid conversation about everything from protecting kids on social media to coming to terms with the crushing mom guilt that comes along with divorce. Rachel also shares her favorite songs that immediately make her turn into a stripper, why twerking is just another incarnation of booty dancing, and how her kids have become the trendsetters in her life.

Finally, Rachel shares her biggest advice: motherhood is personal, so stop caring about other people’s advice. Listen in!

Rachel Sobel ( https://whineandcheezits.com/advertisers-partners/ ) is the heart and mind behind Whine and Cheez(Its). After working many years in public relations and communications, she decided she had enough after one particularly bad experience that made her question what the eff she was doing. She stopped with the “what ifs” and hatched a plan to leave the confines of a cubicle and live her dream as a full-time writer. (In her dream she was thinner, richer and had much more clothing without spatterings of spit-up and breast milk, but beggars can’t be choosers.)

Hi, I’m Andrea Levoff, but most people know me as Dope Ass Mom.

And now that I’m saying that out loud, unironically, locked in my closet to record a podcast (and hide from my pre-snack time kids) I can’t help but think, what the hell does that say about me??

Let me break it down for you. I’m a mom, yes, but that’s just one of the many hats I wear, along with having a masters in spiritual psychology, influencer, comedian, friend,...the list goes on, BUT that’s where the “Dope Ass” comes in. You see, I believe in living life on my own terms, or disregarding the thoughts, opinions and comments of people who, quite frankly don’t matter, to do what makes me happy, even if that means I have a million different titles that don’t quite fit together.

And it’s my goal to help other people do the same, because — insider tip — it’s a whole lot easier to do your own thing when you have a support system willing to take down the status quo with you.

So join me and a cast of other Dope Ass people as we talk about everything from motherhood, our careers, pursuing our dreams and the super weird situations that all of the above have gotten us into. If you’re searching for a common thread here, tap out my friend, because this podcast is all about rejecting the mold, sticking it to the man and marching to your own beat.

I’m here to show you that a Dope Ass life comes in a million shapes and sizes and to inspire you to start living yours today. So if you’re with me, buckle up and enjoy the ride; it’s going to be Dope.
